THE YELLOW DRESS – REGENCY FASHION AS SEEN FROM THE LADY’S MAID’S POINT OF VIEW - A talk with Dr. Alex Walker

Start time: 7.30pm

We often assume that people in the past wore dull colours, devoid of pattern, trimmings, and flourishes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Focusing on a bright yellow dress on display in the Beyond the Bonnets exhibition, Dr Alex Walker, from Hampshire Wardrobe, will explain how Regency England loved colour and how they created the bright yellow dyes which were so popular at the time. Alex will also explore the relationship between the yellow dress and the lady’s maid who would be responsible for caring for the garment, ensuring it was ready to be worn by her mistress. This is an opportunity to see Regency clothing in a different way.
